Prague JUG 2024

Wednesday, November 20, 2024 - 02:40 by Ivar Grimstad

Yesterday I was in Prague and spoke at the Prague Java User Group (CZJUG Prague). It was hosted at the university. Actually the university where Apache NetBeans was initially created. Unfortunately, I forgot that and ran my demos in IDEA and not in NetBeans (Shame on me, but since Jetbrains has their headquarter in Prague as well I guess I got away with it…).

Prague has a very vibrant tech community, and we got another example of that in the lighting talk given by Stefan Richthofer. Besides working on his Ph.D. in data science, he has created APIdia. APIdia is an awesome tool that has a collection of high-quality, structured, interlinked API documentation for open source software. It is pretty awesome, so I would recommend checking it out. And why not start with Jakarta EE 10.

I did the Jakarta EE Meets AI talk, which seems to be very popular. I think it is partly because of the vast number of demos and also the simplicity of it so everybody can follow. And of course, it has AI in the title. As usual, the talk was followed by some good comments, questions, and discussions over pizza and drinks.

Before the event, I did my usual pre-event run in Prague. Check out the #runWithJakartaEE on social media. Thanks to Daniel Kec for the photos taken during the event.
